Approving, rejecting, or updating submitted compensation awards

When a manager submits compensation awards that are subject to approval (approval is required on the compensation awarding view), the approver can approve or reject the awards with comments. For focal awards, if award reasons and comments are made available for the awarding view, the approver can add or update an award reason with or without comments. A focal award approver can also update the awards before approving or rejecting them.

  1. Select the compensation awarding work unit in your inbasket.
    For focal awards, the approver view is identical to the budget owner's view, including lump amount awards if applicable. Budget owner award reasons and comments are flagged with a yellow alert. Hover the alert to view the comment.

    For anniversary awards (which are processed one resource at a time), the form includes the same information for a single resource, in a read-only summary format. Budget owner award reason and comments are also included on the approver form.

  2. For focal awards, you can update or add an award reason with or without comments. Click Award Reason, select the award reason, add or update comments if applicable, and click Save.
    This option can be used to reject an award. You can specify the reason for the rejection of a specific resource award to the budget owner. The budget owner sees a yellow alert and can view the comments by pausing the mouse on the alert.
  3. For focal awards, to update the award changes, specify your changes, and click Save.
  4. To approve the manager's compensation awards, click Approve.
    The manager's compensation awards are routed to the next approver, who can also add award reasons and comments, make changes (for focal awards only), approve, or reject, as needed.
  5. To reject the manager's compensation awards, click Reject.
    A rejection email is sent to the budget owner. If comments are included, the rejection email includes the comments. On the manager view for focal awards, the budget owner can also view comments for individual awards by hovering on the yellow alert.
